tutorials Archives - Spoonful of Imagination

Reagan’s Bedroom is one of my favorite makeovers I have ever done. I think because for half of the creating and planning for it, we were not even in our new house yet. I learned a lot about trying to create for a space that you don’t get to walk by and stand in everyday to imagine and “see” your project come to life. I was stretched and now have made something I am proud of as a result. If it was my choice, we would play in there all day everyday.

Although she may only be two, it is something Reagan is proud of as well. If you were to walk into my house right now, she would ask you to come upstairs and see her room…even if you have already seen it. It makes my heart so happy. Some work might have been required, but what an easy way for me to show love to my daughter by being able to create something she loves.

Since before we moved, I have been showing tutorials and DIY projects that I have been creating to incorporate in her room. I thought it would be helpful to put all those in one place, so there is a little summary of how create this room. Please feel free to bookmark it, pin it, or share it. It is my hope all these hours of creating can inspire others to create as well.

Thank you so much for checking out my little girl’s bedroom summary! I hope these links and posts can help inspire you. Please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions about how to do any of these tutorials!

I’m so excited to introduce you to my Friend Suzy today! You might have seen her around the web as @suzy6281 or on her own site. I got to work with Suzy last year for a group giveaway, and I truly admire and look up to her! She is so fun and creative, and her ideas are really unique. She has beautiful step by step instructions on her tutorials and a much better gift of stringing words together than I! So, I will stop talking (or typing in this case) and let Suzy take over!

_______________________

I’m Suzy, and I’m the “zookeeper” over at Suzy’s Artsy Craftsy Sitcom. I am an artist, crafter, designer and humor writer living in Atlanta, GA. I love to specialize in vintage crafts and recycled crafts. I like my projects to be unique; something that you won’t find just anywhere. That said, I often find inspiration in odd places such as the plumbing aisle at Home Depot, or shelves at the Dollar Store. I like to look at an item and imagine the possibilities.

And if I don’t have any in mind at that moment, well, I just store it for later. Ask my husband about my huge pickle jar collection, my cardboard box collection, my toilet paper tube collection, or my huge stash of dollar store odds and ends and he’ll just roll his eyes. He’s learned not to just throw things away without running it by me first. Those stashes one day just might be gold!

I’m known for my faux metal crafts created from toilet paper tubes, and at most family gatherings, it is not unusual to be “gifted” with bags of the things. I guess there are worse things than being known as the TP queen.

Really, there must be.

The Sitcom is a place to go for great arts and crafts inspiration. Currently there are over 100 fully illustrated tutorials on my Tutorial Page. I also like to keep things real. I am a humor writer and it is natural to include a bit of the family in my blog. After all, when you have a hubby, a mess of dogs and several daughters, it is pretty easy to find humorous things to write about. There is drama all around! There are doggie issues such as the time we had to risk our lives to try and brush our Chihuahua’s teeth, the time I fell off my husband’s Harley and cracked my ankle (while the bike was on the kickstand), that time I exploded hard-boiled eggs all over my kitchen ceiling (well actually the third time I did that…), my obsession with Tom Selleck and his mustache, that little incident with the jello in the bra…well lets just say there is plenty to make my life a Sitcom.

My tag line, “Life is a Sitcom covered in glitter, hot glue strings, and dog hair. Isn’t it…?” kind of says it all.

Erica Here: Isn’t she awesome!? I want to reach through the computer and give her a hug and have coffee with her! I think a girl’s craft night with Suzy would be about one of the most amazing things. She is so talented and fun! I love that she is known as the TP Queen.

I absolutely adore her quilt and she gives you the pattern free!

Suzy walks you step by step with so many gorgeous pictures on how to make this quilt. I’m not one for patterns, but I think I could do this with her tutorial!

My boys would LOVE to makes these Snowflake Stones of hers.

I wish I could list all her beautiful tutorials, but that is impossible. So, you need to just jump over to her site, browse around a little more, and please introduce yourself and say hi!
